I really didn't want to do this, but I have come to the realization that there is no way I'm going to make 50,000 words by November 30th this year.
There are just too many other things going on at the moment, with hosting Thanksgiving tossed right in on top of it all. By the time I get some writing time, my brain is just too fried to even string all that many words together.
As of today, I should have had 26,672 words down. I have almost 9,000. It doesn't bode well.
I'm not giving up on the novel though. I think it's a good story and I'll continue working on it when I can - but I'm not going to beat myself up over it. Even though I know I won't make the 50,000, I will get as far as I can. A good start is better than no start at all.
NaNoWriMo - there's always next year.

You will write it in your own time.
Write when the Muse visits and throw deadlines away...All things in their own time
Tell you what Sayre, why don't you blow off the family gig and come up for the "Orphan Gobble Day" festivities that I'm going to? I'm suggesting a "Jammy Thanksgiving Day". In other words, wear your most comfortable PJ's all day long. :) It'll be fun.. you know you wanna.
We aren't cooking diddly squat. We are outsourcing the whole meal. ha..ha..ha... Did you know you can get Deep fried turkey delivered? :D
